Part of the $172 million Sony reports includes "rebuilding their user management and security systems." But having satisfactory user management and security systems in the first place is what would have allowed them to avoid such an attack. It's not an extra cost from failing to engineer things correctly; it's the cost of engineering things correctly.

Good point; the extra cost is what they paid to develop the original poorly designed systems. (I wonder how much that was?)
